Philosophy of Everything

An information representation (or string) s  is very compressible if the size of it's smallest possible compression K(s) is very small compared with it's observed size(s) . The smallest compression size  K(s)  is the Kolmogorov complexity . We can define the compress-ibility C(s) of a string s  to be the smallest compression  K(s)  divided by the size of the original representation  size(s) : C(s) = K(s) / Size(s) - lower is better The smallest compressed size" for any given string is a function that cannot be calculated in general, however you can always find an upper bound to it as soon as you find a compression of that size. A compression of s is basically a program along with it's input that can generate s as output. If is always possible to find a program slightly bigger than s  (think: print " s "), therefore it is only interesting to find compression with size that is lower than size( s ).

  One philosopher said that "philosophy is a natural act of human living" and I agree with him. But what brings philosophy in addition to "regular" science"? I find Philosophy to be a kind of "meta-science", permanently inquiring about the root of all assumptions that we use. In this way, Philosophy is different than "regular" science, however it can contributes to the methods used in all the rest of the science. By analyzing the limits of our knowledge, we can better understand what level of certainty we can expect from science and the rest of our knowledge and believes. Of course, by using specific methods and logical deduction in assuring coherency, Philosophy is also a science in itself.

From time to time I have practical posts that are too few to deserve a blog by themselves. I still hope my other work (like above) is even more valuable than such practical article as below. * * *   Upda te 2022 : the 8'th generation NUC8i3BEH is still a decent mini-desktop for browsing and office. However, the cooler is going very high when you do something that takes more CPU. The more recent NUC (11'th generation), like NUC11PAHI5 , is the first NUC that is almost quiet most of the time - while cooler still works at low speed all the time. While AMD laptops are cheaper, energy efficient and arguably slightly more performant , I still use Intel as mini-desktop. The smallest AMD mini-desktop I found is significantly larger and has a coil noise at USB due to a motherboard issue...

There was a long time from when I've seen a PC dying before it's moral obsoletion. This one does not show any light anymore, while the power source seems ok. Review Kodlix GN41 Fanless MIN PC, 8G DDR4 64G eMMC, Intel Celeron N4100 up to 2.4Ghz/ 4K@60Hz UHD/Support SSD&HDD/ 2.4G+5.8G WiFi/ 1000M LAN/VGA&HDMI Outputs On short: good performance for a fanless configuration,  plays up to 4K video: 8GB RAM, Win10 included, with the possibility to add a SATA HDD (like 2TB). It has 1Gbps ethernet, it can make a  NAS or Media Server/Player. Ho...
